His comments are needed just as much as any person that mentions they are gay in this post. Your personal sexuality has nothing to do with this game at all, so why mention it at all.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

I have my reservations about certain things in this game, but I am willing to give the devs the benefit of the doubt. Chances are BW realizes the seriousness of this, and there is much to be thought out before they just implement. Frankly a little patience from all of us is warranted I think.
Yeah, some patience is always a good thing. Yes, this will make some people uncomfortable, but to not put it in for their sole happiness is wrong. I don't want people's enjoyment to be diminished, but there are some things one must stand up for. If people are that put off a game because there is a gay romance option, then I'm afraid they're still living in the past.
PROPER SPACE COMBAT PLEASE

Point taken and as such you are correct sexuality has nothing to do with this game, but inciting aggression because of abusive comments on the other hand isn't helping this conversation in the least. Just an opinion though.

He's trying to derail the thread, that much is obvious when you look at what he wrote. The biggest flaw in his logic being that all games have gays in them. I'd be just as dismissive of a post saying cant we have a game with no straights in for once.

Well its seven months later and and two patches later and I have yet to see any lesbian or gay romance options.

Whatever happened to this? Why is nobody discussing it?
Really? THIS AGAIN?

Like there isn't enough to fix, tweak, optimize, correct, and adjust in this game, without this MUCH less than necessary, trivial issue?

Are you people actually SERIOUS?

Well I see nothing wrong with what he said. He asked why cant we have a game without having gays in it that must be visible. If they want to add it then it doesnt matter if they do or not but to insist that they need to add it is wrong. Next maybe we can have midget toons so they are reppresented in the game. Then we can have every other minority or special type of people included also. Then every update will have nothing in the game but adding in stuff for all th especial groups and nothing about star wars.

This game is about star wars, people are playing it because of star wars not because they can or cannot have a gay relationship with their companions.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

Seems like anytime somebody protests the idea, they are instantly shut down with a deleted post. Maybe I am wrong, but I do disagree with this even being remotely necessary in Star Wars.

if this does take place, then I suggest Bioware let the public know with a warning label that parents should be aware that there are gay suggestive themes in the game before parents buy this game for their kids.
^THIS ...... watch subs drop like stones at that point......

You gay folks got your gay rights, in REAL life. I could care less, unless it is thrust in my face..... .like it's being done NOW ........
